Former University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos players Alexa Polidario and Erjane Magdato return to the site of their successful championship run last year as the Beach Volleyball Republic On Tour: Dumaguete Open unwraps today at the Rizal Boulevard sand court in Dumaguete City.
Polidario and Magdato emerged victorious over Samaa Miyagawa of Japan and Tin Lai of Hong Kong in the Negros Oriental capital last November, the most well-attended leg in the history of the four-year old beach volleyball circuit.
Winners of two BVR legs last year, Polidario and Magdato will face tough opposition in the two-day, double-gender event.
Perlas’ Bea Tan and Dij Rodriguez are hoping to make it three in a row after their undefeated run in the Puerto Galera and Santa Fe, Bantayan Island legs last month, while the international pair of Yuen Ting Chi and Lok Shun are also eyeing to make an impact in the 12-team field.
